but a substance incorporeal, living, understanding, dwelling in the body, and sustaining and moving it, these places following of holy Scripture do show: Psal. 48. His soul shall be blessed in life. Heb. 12. God is called the Father of spirits. And it is said of the faithful;1 Ye are come to the celestial Jerusalem, and to the company of innumerable Angels and to the spirits of just and perfect men. No man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of a man which is in him. 2In these and the like places of Scripture, both the soul of a man is called a spirit, and the properties of a living and understanding substance are attributed unto it. Wherefore, to no purpose do the adversaries of this doctrine oppose those places, in which the name of the soul is taken for the life and will of man: as,3 The soul is more worth then meat. I put my soul in my hand. For by the fore-alleged places it is manifest,4 that this is not general, but is used by a figure of speech, whereby we call the effect by the name of his cause.
